Super interesting class, not too hard if you go to lecture and take notes. Professor Wrobel is the best and I would recommend him to literally everyone, he made class so fun

Loved this class, it's so chill but it's so interesting! The only issue was the TA's because some of them weren't helpful and whenever I asked for help in section, they sounded confused themselves. He had two mini writing assignments (1 paragraph). You are allowed a cheat sheet but please go over everything and make sure you put anything important.

His last name is Wrobel because he's a W professor!!!! I took this as a science elective for my major and I loved it. The course was easy and he allows cheatsheets on the midterm/final. He is a great lecturer. Would 100% recommend this course to anyone looking for a good science GE or as a List A science elective for CS majors!

Make sure you read the textbook and ask for help. I would not recommend this as an easy GE. Tests are all multiple choice so it can be a good or bad thing.

Alex wrobel is my king this class slayed boots he is awesome pls take him! Take handwritten notes and do your cheat sheet and you'll be fine on the exams

If you're not a science major or have no interest in it (which I don't nor am I a science major. I actually suck at science and that and math are my worst subjects) you will struggle with the material. There are EC assignments you can do which are super easy though and Professor Wrobel helped me out so much when I was struggled and almost failed

By far one of my favorite professors here, he's so sweet & understanding. Lectures aren't mandatory, going to them doesn't feel unbearable bc he's very passionate. Weekly quiz(1 chance), TAs are sweet and give good feedback. front+back handwritten cheat sheet, 1 midterm, 1 final. Accessible outside class w office hours usually off campus

Wrobel is awesome! Took this class to fulfill area C and I'd highly recommend! No math on any of the tests, just on the worksheets in sections but they're easy and the TAs are super helpful. Weekly canvas quizzes, 2 midterms and a final (with a cheat sheet for each test). Overall a great class and great professor.

THE BEST PROF AT UCSB! Earth 4 was so easy you get to make cheat sheets for tests front and back. His slides are SUPER helpful and it helps a lot to attend lecture. Class consists of weekly quizzes 2 tests and a final but everything was really easy. Alex is so kind and is willing to help if you ever get confused. I def recommend taking his classes!

Love him he is so nice and great lecturer and so fair. Front and back cheat full page cheat sheet for multiple choice midterm and final.

I loved Prof Wrobel. He's super sweet and passionate. Lectures are mostly interesting but can get a little dry. Tests are easy with a one-page cheat sheet allowed. Sections have one worksheet due at the end of class (they're all super easy). Highly recommend this class for a GE!!

Attendance to lecture is not mandatory, weekly labs that are pretty easy. Super passionate prof that makes material easy to understand. If you pay attention in section/lectures and prep a bit before exams you will do well. Two midterms and a final.
